Carter was at home that weekend when he called over Ashley to accompany him. He had something important to discuss with her. Ashley was a busy woman and her career of modelling was now more influential after she was seen with Carter several time as a couple in a row now. People started to believe they were dating and his wife and Carter were divorced. Even Ashley's agencies would gossip her about Carter and was really impressed that she got her hands on such a handsome billionaire who can do anything on his fingertips. Now the people only waited for their engagement and would often tease Carter at every party they would attend together. "I'm taking it that you missed me very much that's why you couldn't help but call me over!" Ashley's voice demanded his attention as he sat on the chair in his study room, across the table. All the portraits of Veronica were gone long time now and there was no sign of her presence or past in that house now. She draped her hands around his neck and
Her interview went great and she was determined that she will get a job soon. Although the competition was tough and many eligible fashion designers were there to make it difficult in choosing. She learned baking skills while working at Aunt Lucy's bakery and now she could make delicious cakes and heavenly cookies. Now Aunt Lucy would often ask her to help her in the kitchen as well and her work increased. She made up her mind that she would tell Aunt Lucy soon that she's going to quit from the bakery as she now would work in a company but she was not ready yet. She even hid her pregnancy from everyone although her little bump was visible. She would often wear lose clothes or would wear a long coat that would hide her tummy. It was the day when Sam visited her and she had the appointment at hospital. She didn't know if Sam would now ask her questions about going to hospital but she wished that he would arrive in evening so she would be already done with the appointment. Her wish d
She couldn't lie so she truthfully told them that she was pregnant before she applied here but she is trying that her health won't get in the way of her work. Although her manager was not lenient in such cases but she believed her because she was such a hardworking woman with brilliant abilities. She promised them that she'll only take one month maternity leave and will join work right after that and even if she had to, she will work from home too. This statement satisfied her manager that at least they'll get what they want. The months were passing quickly as her baby grew inside her fully and every time now she went for ultrasound, she would saw her whole baby on the screen, coiled up. It was the best feeling in the world she felt in that moment. Her body was going through changes which she once used to dislike as maintaining her perfect figure but now that she was building a whole human inside her, it didn't bother her anymore. She realised that it was the best decision to keep
He booked the whole restaurant and got the rooftop decorated. A glass table along with the most comfortable chairs, everything covered in red roses. This was his wild imagination that he wanted to do for Veronica only if she had love him in return. A floral smell swirled in the surrounding, mingling with air which would make anyone feel energised and fresh. He hired a private cook who made such delicious dishes that one could only dream of. According to him everything should be beyond perfection and that's how it turned out to be surprising. He sent a driver over Ashley's apartment to pick her up and bring her here, as he wanted to welcome her himself. Earlier this week, he went to a jeweller who customised his favourite ring design. He didn't know why he was making so much efforts but at the moment he didn't want to think about it. All he wanted was to focus on his temporary happiness so he won't have to worry about future. He was going to propose to Ashley and according to him,
Nine months soon passed away and she didn't even realize it although she counted every day. One can never hold the rope of time as she felt the labour pain while being in her office. She asked her colleague to drop her to hospital while she called Aunt Lucy on the phone, asking her to bring the baby bag as she was already on her way to hospital. She was taken to labour room and all she felt was anxiety creeping inside her veins. She was nervous, she didn't know what was going to happen but the pain was worst. She wanted to get over with it as soon as possible, and luckily her gynaecologist was a really good doctor who took in account of her condition and didn't made her wait much. It took her at least two hours to deliver the baby as it was her first time, it turned out to be the most difficult thing for her. Screams of excruciating pain left her mouth and she had no one by her side on whom she could hold onto. Even the nurses blabbered about her being alone. Every women had their
It was around evening when Sam joined Veronica for tea as she worked day and night on her new project. "Don't you think you come very often at Aunt Lucy's now?" Veronica asked out of the blue while sipping on her chamomile tea which Aunt Lucy especially ordered her to intake every day for her healthy body and baby. "You noticed that?" He asked with a nervous expression. "Of course ""Then what did you conclude? What's the reason of my unusual visits?" He asked her back. "That's what I'm asking you Sam! I hope it's something reasonable because you have a job and I can't see you ruining your career " she replied to him as she took the baby in her hands which started to cry in the baby cot. "I like Suzy! And I want to marry her" he announced in a firm voice.Her expressions didn't change even for a millisecond as if she already hinted it before but just wanted him to confirm himself. "That's great" she commented. "Are you not surprised?" He asked in astonishment because it was cer
"to whom you're talking babe at this hour?" A voice ranged in her back as she clutched the phone tightly but didn't turn. She was crying continuously, so she wiped her tears and then cut the call while Reynold was still waiting for her response on the other side.Then she turned around to look at him, who stood just a foot away from her.She still didn't said a word and choose to walk away past him but he grabbed her hand midway."What's wrong?" He asked again, this time his tone lined with worry."Don't touch me!" She screamed and retreated her hand back harshly as she exited the room to grab her belongings and leave right away. He followed her behind, trying to catch up with her but she was step ahead as she hurriedly started to put on her clothes and then grabbed her purse which was in his room before she undressed and came to his study in nightie."Ashley! Will you listen to me? What's wrong? Why are you acting this way?" He couldn't help but grab her shoulders again and then shoo
It was around evening when but he was still in his office. He called Jason in and told him to schedule his session with a professional therapist. He admitted that he needed one after last night he had to take pills for a good sleep. He had been dealing with insomnia for a very long time but it takes a lot of courage to admit that one has a problem. "Sir I am not sure but I think we have a hint where she could be" Jason stepped in his office suddenly and exclaimed. "What?" He raised his head out shock. "There's a possibility that she could be in England because after a very thorough research we've learned that her brother has been living in Edinburgh for a very long time" He spoke, placing the documents in front of him on his desk. He pointed to the red circle where they located him. "I see" Carter was surprised because it was more than a year after she disappeared and he was very much interested in finding her. But he had this curiosity that how she would be doing all alone and h
